Hi - has anyone with a modern Linux OS succeeded in installing a working copy of chirp using flatpak?
By a modern Linux I mean one with version of python3 greater then 3.6 - in general
In a terminal window, type
python3and it will print out the version of python3 when it starts up.
For instance, the version of python3 on my machine is
Python 3.10.4-- Cinaed
My Linux Mint 20.3 (which I mentioned in a previous reply) is the latest version of the Ubuntu derivative and includes Python 3.8.10. The latest CHIRP daily is installed using the flatpak downloaded from the CHIRP download page. is It is absolutely working because I used it to perform some testing earlier this week which required that I download from and upload to 12 different (mostly) mobile radio models a minimum of 1 time each direction using 4 different programming cables (FTDI, Prolific, Silicon Labs and WCH).
I did the same testing using a Raspberry Pi Model 3B computer running the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Debian version 11 (Bullseye)) which includes Python 3.9.2. In this case the latest CHIRP daily was installed as a snap package from the Snap Store.
